Hope to see ya there

Hey Intruder,

I'm still debating on going or not. Last year was a HUGE turnout I don't like really big crowds to begin with, and from what I saw last year, there were several idiots doing very unsafe things while in formation. I might just watch the crowd go by from Oak Beach, or hang out at Captree.

 

Ya I hear I dont mind the knuckleheads to much since i'm usually surrounded by people I know. The worst thing I saw last year was while on the LIE a guy in a truck with a trailer decided he would force his way into the group.

I will pass on this one. I went last year and I did not enjoy the ride at all. Too many bikes and riding LIE is boring. I might however ride the Freedom Ride again next week that rides into the city with the police escort.

Rogue13, I think people are riding into Oak Beach again because they started charging for parking at Oak Beach.

If I get my rear tire changed by Sunday maybe we can meet at Oak Beach and watch the bikes go by.

 

Steve - I would like to think a bunch of riders pulled the guy out of the truck and beat the crap out of him. (Rant over - I hate hearing stuff like that).

Arnold - I usually go by Oak Beach at least once per week (I enjoy the solitude). Sometimes the gates to the parking lot are open, sometimes they're closed. The residents are trying to force the Sunday hot rod/biker crowd out of there. Everyone currently meets at Captree, which is not charging to get in (yet - I think they start Memorial day weekend - I think they start collecting tolls at 8:00AM.). Most of us get there before 8 anyway. Hope to see you there - keep any eye out for the scoot.

 

ya I hear ya Arnold I mostly do the ride for the cause and my club Keep me in mind for any upcoming rides you have planned, guess you rode the rubber off the rear tire with all those miles youve been riding.

Keep the rubber down
Steve

 

Joe-I was at Captree last Saturday around 1pm and they are there collecting the money. I turned around and went to Oak Beach. So I hope to see you there on Sunday. It will not be hard to see your bike


Steve-Yeah so far I am averaging one rear tire a year which is a good thing. I hope you and your family are doing well and enjoy the ride on Sunday.

 

Cool - I hope it doesn't rain!

 

Looks like I'm passing on this ridefellas...mother nature doesn't look like she wants to play ball, and I HATE rain.

On the other hand, you guys can come over and help me plaster the atticif you'd like??.....of course we'd ALL get plastered after..

I hear Mon/Tue starts with some nice weather....someone elsementioned a Tuesday nite bike thing in Qns....keep it in mind for some after-work fun....

ride safe gang...

 

I got my own crap to do around the house! - which is why I really don't mind a rainy Saturday once in a while. If it wasn't forrainy Saturdays, nothing would get done at my house. I'm still hoping the idiot weather guy is wrong about Sunday, and if so, I'll be at Captree Sunday morning.
